All candidates must follow the application procedure as shown in how to apply. The information below gives specific details for students applying for this course.
Written work
Candidates must submit written work by 11 November 2013 for each of the subjects forming this joint course. Please see further details on the pages for English Language and Literature and for Modern Languages.
You will see that candidates are required to submit:
- a piece of written work in English for the English part of the course
and also
- a piece of written work in English for the Modern Languages part of the course (along with work in the chosen Modern Language)
If you have a piece of written work in English that you think would be suitable for both subjects, please send us two copies of this piece of work; you do not need to submit two different pieces of work in English. Please check the written work requirements for both English Language and Literature and for Modern Languages before choosing what to send.
Written tests
All candidates must take both the English Literature Admissions Test (ELAT) and the Modern Languages Admissions Tests (MLAT), normally at their own school or college, on 6 November 2013. Separate registration for both tests is required and the final deadline for entries is 15 October 2013. It is the responsibility of the candidate to ensure that they are registered for these tests.
Please refer to the pages for English Language and Literature and for Modern Languages for further details.
